Christmas In Watford

Christmas at Hogwarts, panto at the Palace, Love Actually on the train. Watford just got festive.

Christmas At Hogwarts

As the blockbuster film Fantastic Beasts: The

Crimes Of Grindelwald casts a spell over cinema audiences, enter the wizarding world of JK Rowling yourself with a tour of The Making Of Harry Potter in Leavesden From November 17, the festive season arrives with eight Christmas trees lining the Great Hall and the huge model of Hogwarts castle is blanketed in snow. Tickets must be booked online in advance - you can’t purchase them in person on the day.

The Big Skate

The Big Skate returns to the Parade from November 24. The rink-side bar is the perfect vantage point to watch skaters of all abilities glide elegantly across real ice. Very young children can take advantage of the twin blade bobby skates for tiny feet or hire one of the 20 stabilising penguins and seals.

Jack And The Beanstalk

Watford Palace Theatre hosts Andrew Pollard’s version of Jack And The Beanstalk from December 5. The family-friendly pantomime promises an udderly joyful time in the company of Dame Trott and her mischievous cow.
